Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 242: Waiting for Diseases

Hang Nanxing and Ouyang Qian took the safe and sound sign from Yun Fuling and said in unison:

"Thank you, Master!"

"Disciple will remember Master's teachings!"

Yun Fuling didn't expect that at a practice banquet, she would suddenly have two more disciples.

The day after the practice banquet, Mr. Hang and others set out to return to Jiangzhou.

Two days later, Xun Shaokang also came to Yun Fuling to say goodbye.

He stayed in the capital for a long time, and it was time to return to Jiangbei.

Although Yun Fuling was reluctant, she understood that all good things must come to an end.

Moreover, Xun Shaokang also has responsibilities in Jiangbei.

After Grandpa Hang, Xun Shaokang and the others left, Yun Fuling suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She felt that life was not so lively without these people.

Fortunately, Yun Fuling has just accepted two young apprentices. She teaches them every day, occasionally goes to Jishidiang to see patients, inspects the pharmacy and medicine garden, and also takes time to accompany her son Xiao Jingmo. Her life is quite fulfilling.

On this day, Yun Fuling took a rare day off for herself and agreed to take Xiao Jingmo out of town to play.

To this end, she specifically asked Xiao Jingyi to cooperate and make time for the family of three to go out of the city for an outing to enjoy some parent-child time.

Xiao Jingmo was very excited and had been preparing things for the outing since last night.

The next day, as the family of three walked out of the city gate, they were caught up by a group of people from behind and stopped.

Tian Quan immediately scolded, "Who are you? How dare you stop the carriage of Prince Yi's palace?"

The leader saluted towards the carriage and said respectfully, "I, the humble Imperial Guard Captain Yao Tong, greet His Royal Highness Prince Yi. I have been ordered to come and invite His Royal Highness Prince Yi, Princess Yi, and the young prince to enter the palace."

Xiao Jingyi lifted the carriage curtain, glanced at the imperial guard captain, and asked, "Is your majesty summoning the prince to the palace?"

Before the captain of the imperial guards could reply, a man in eunuch clothing came up from the end of the team and said breathlessly, "The queen mother is seriously ill, and she has summoned all the princes and their families to Shoukang Palace to take care of her."

Xiao Jingyi recognized that the eunuch was someone who served Empress Dowager Cui.

"I understand. I will go to the palace to serve you right away."

Upon hearing this, Tianquan immediately turned the carriage around and headed towards the imperial palace.

Yao Tong and other imperial guards and the eunuch followed on both sides of Xiao Jingyi's carriage.

Fortunately, they arrived in time. After arriving at Prince Yi's Mansion, they heard that His Royal Highness Prince Yi had taken Princess Yi and the young master out of the city for a trip today, so they immediately chased after them and intercepted them halfway.

In the carriage, Xiao Jingmo was unhappy when he saw that today's outing was ruined.

He hasn't hung out with his parents for a long time.

Yun Fuling noticed that he was unhappy, so she put her arm around his shoulders and coaxed him, "Mom promises you that I'll take you out to play in a few days, okay?"

Xiao Jingyi was trying to reason with him on the side.

"The Queen Mother is ill and wants us to go to the palace to take care of her. We have to go. This is filial piety. Do you understand?"

Xiao Jingmo nodded sensibly.

He didn't like the Queen Mother very much.

Although the Queen Mother always smiled and was very kind every time she saw him, he felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

However, the Queen Mother is the Emperor's adoptive mother. When the Queen Mother is sick, he should visit her.

I don’t know how serious the Queen Mother’s illness is?

Seeing Jing Mo was so sensible, Xiao Jingyi immediately promised: "Daddy will take you horseback riding in a few days."

When Xiao Jingmo heard that he could go horseback riding, a smile appeared on his face again.

Xiao Jingyi raised his hand and rubbed Jing Mo's head, then whispered to Yun Fuling: "Be careful when you enter Shoukang Palace later."

"Ever since the death of the King of Jiangzhou, the Queen Mother has not been in good health."

"The imperial physician only said that he was old and that it was inevitable that he would have some minor ailments."

"If the Queen Mother asks you to see a doctor, you must not take on too much responsibility. You must discuss and consider with other imperial doctors. Do you understand?"

Yun Fuling blinked her eyes, feeling that this time, going to serve the sick might not be that easy.

Xiao Jingyi leaned over and spoke close to Yun Fuling's ear, his voice so low that only the two of them could hear it clearly.

"Father is not the Queen Mother's biological son, so in the past, we were able to maintain the dignity of a loving mother and a filial son."

"But the incident with the King of Jiangzhou caused a rift between the Queen Mother and my father, and both of them have grudges in their hearts."

Upon hearing this, Yun Fuling shook Xiao Jingyi's hand to show that she understood.

Now that the Queen Mother has developed a grudge, I'm afraid some of her previous ideas will change.

Without the son, Prince of Jiangzhou, Emperor Jingping was not her biological son. Among all the princes, only the third prince was related to her by blood.

I think the Queen Mother probably doesn't want to see Xiao Jingyi ascend to a high position in the future.

Emperor Jingping, on the other hand, respected his adoptive mother, Empress Dowager Cui, as the Empress Dowager and showed concern and filial piety to her on a daily basis.

He was also very kind to his younger brother, the King of Jiangzhou.

Who knew that the King of Jiangzhou had the intention of rebellion.

If Emperor Jingping was a suspicious person and thought more deeply, he would inevitably suspect whether Queen Mother Cui was behind the Prince of Jiangzhou.

Would Queen Mother Cui want to depose him and help her own son ascend the throne?

From Emperor Jingping's perspective, it is inevitable that he would feel heartbroken.

The carriage sped along and soon arrived at the palace.

When Xiao Jingyi and the other two arrived at Shoukang Palace, the palace was already packed with people.

Xiao Jingyi immediately led Yun Fuling and Xiao Jingmo into the inner hall.

In the bedroom, Emperor Jingping, Concubine Cui and other high-ranking concubines were all there.

Xiao Jingyi and the other two came forward to pay their respects and ask how she was before asking, "How is the Empress Dowager?"

Yun Fuling quietly raised her head and glanced at the bed, only to see Empress Dowager Cui lying on the bed with her eyes closed, her face looking sallow.

Emperor Jingping looked solemn and said, "Early this morning, the Queen Mother suddenly fainted after she got up."

"I summoned the imperial physician to see her. He said that the weather has turned cooler recently and the Queen Mother has caught a cold."

"Plus I'm old and have some old ailments, so the illness came as a heavy blow."

"The medicine has been taken, but I don't know when the person will wake up."

Yun Fuling raised her eyebrows upon hearing this and looked at Empress Dowager Cui on the bed again.

She had good eyesight and could clearly see that Empress Dowager Cui's eyelids were trembling slightly, and it was obvious that her eyeballs under her eyelids were moving from time to time.

This shows that Queen Dowager Cui was not unconscious at all.

She was pretending to be unconscious.

But why should we pretend?

Yun Fuling was puzzled.

Emperor Jingping's eyes swept across Yun Fuling's face, but he did not take the initiative to ask Yun Fuling to diagnose him.

Seeing this, Yun Fuling stood behind Xiao Jingyi and pretended to be stupid, not taking the initiative to volunteer.

Her face remained expressionless, but her mind was instantly busy.

Did Emperor Jingping also see that Empress Dowager Cui was pretending, so he didn't ask her to treat him?

Let's talk about conspiracy theories a little bit. In fact, Emperor Jingping was disgusted with Empress Dowager Cui and wished she would return to the underworld as soon as possible.

What about Queen Mother Cui?

The death of Prince Jiangzhou must have made Queen Mother Cui resent Emperor Jingping.

She pretended to be unconscious this time and gathered so many people to take care of her. What was she planning from time to time?
